NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
give effect to the sale of Packaging, which occurred on October 4,
1996, as though such sale had taken place as of the beginning of the
respective periods. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income exclude the net effects of the gain of
approximately $40.0 million on the sale of Packaging.
(1) Restores eliminated sales and cost of products sold between Packaging
and the Company's other operations.
(2) Adjusts net interest expense to reflect assumed reduction in long term
debt out of the proceeds from the Packaging sale.
(3) Adjusts income tax expense to reflect the tax effect of the pro forma
adjustments, excluding the tax effect of the gain on the sale. In
1995 and 1996, the Company reported consolidated income tax expense

Packaging's foreign operations.
